It took me almost surprised that a machine at this price is quite good. A Flex can I get for half the price, but that breaking away would be somewhat difficult. The Güde must not be compared to a professional saw, but it is sufficiently stable designed to occasionally disconnect some workpieces. I have used them primarily for mold steels up to 4 mm thickness, but this machine is well suited. The life of the supplied disc also seems good. I have the device so far only two weeks of use, and hope for further good functionality. Comment: I would like ordered together from the same consignor spare disks, but I could find only discs from other companies, which would have meant additional shipping costs online.
